Compiz window decorations missing

[Massimo Savino]

Hi all,

Just wondering if I can ask about compiz -- I have it installed with the following programs:

 compizconfig-backend-gconf compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported compiz-core compiz libcompizconfig0 libdecoration0 libdecoration0-dev

... as well as the dependencies implied by them, using the Shame repository at:

# Unofficial Compiz repository
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/debian-lenny/desktopfx/unstable/ ./

Compiz appears to start with Metacity as the default WM.

Every time I start compiz from the cmd line, my window decorations disappear. I tried the instructions at Brice Goglin's blog at
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/11253.html

... and at the end of the comments it says that if you want to use the instructions properly, you have to remove ccsm and another deb.

My question is, what if I would like to remove the gconf changes instead?

I am running Debian lenny on a dual-core Pentium with 4gb RAM on an EVGA nForce 780i SLI 775 A1 board, and a BFG NVidia GeForce 8800 GT card with 512mb GDDR3 RAM.

If you need any other information, just let me know, and I'll be happy to provide.

Thank you
Mass

I do have gtk-window-decorator installed via the libdecoration packages, and emerald, as well as fusion-icon.

Under fusion-icon, if I select Compiz instead of the default Metacity, I lose all window decorations.

Any other ideas as to the source?

Thanks in advance

gtk-window-decorator
kde-window-decorator
emerald

and I stronlgly recommends run fusion-icon or compiz-manager to run
compiz instead of oinly run compiz...

there is a way get settings of compiz stored in the kde settings but
you should use google because I don't remember about it, then I'm not
be able to answer your question...

use ccsm that works fine.....

Right on the money -- and it took out my Iceweasel in the chroot as well!

So... any ideas as to what I should be looking for, to track this down further?

Thanks again, everyone
